Computer Science II
Mock Exam
Course Introduction
Computer Science II is a continuation of introductory computer science principles, focusing on advanced programming techniques, data structures, and algorithmic problem solving. The course covers topics such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, recursion, sorting and searching algorithms, and object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance and polymorphism. Students will develop proficiency in designing, implementing, testing, and debugging complex software solutions while building a deeper understanding of computational thinking and software engineering practices. This course prepares students for more specialized study in computer science and related fields.
